The hit musical, which is based on the film of the same name starring Whitney Houston and Kevin Costner, follows a secret service agent-turned-bodyguard Frank Farmer, who is hired to protect singer Rachel Marron from an unknown stalker. The show includes classic tunes such as "Queen of the Night", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody" and "I Will Always Love You"

Burke (currently appearing in Chicago in the West End) returns to the role of Marron after playing the role in London and on a 2015/16 UK tour. The production had its world premiere at the Adelphi Theatre in 2012, where it was nominated for four Olivier Awards.

The new UK tour will open at Glasgow Theatre Royal on 3 December before touring to Hull, Southend, Liverpool, Milton Keynes, Bristol, Cardiff, Norwich, Canterbury, Southampton, Nottingham and Wolverhampton.
